And why would he try that?

Good evening
I did have the same problem with 9.10:
when I insert the live CD into the drive, the computer boots from HDD
and apparently "mounts" the CD,
but it shows absolutely no intention to boot from it.
When I put the same CD in my desktop Windows machine, it does what it is
supposed to do.

AND, the note PC I am using for Linux DID/DOES recognize/boot from a
live CD of Ubuntu 9.04 (that is why I have that system installed - thus,
the drive is not broken).

You are suggesting that instead he use wubi to accomplish this?
Mind boggles... beer goggles.
